Sailing Holidays Ltd - Sailing and Flotilla Sailing Holidays in Greece and Croatia
Just got back from a wonderful week on one of your new boats in Greece it goes too quickly when you're there is my only complaint. The good news is I am off again to Croatia on the 24th of May.
I can't wait to get back on the water
Best regards
Just wanted to drop a line before our trip to Greece last week becomes a dim and distant memory to say thanks for a fabulous time sailing the Ionian.The lead crew (Jules, Dan & Clarkie) were great in being around whenever you needed them but also being so relaxed that you felt brave enough to try doing things for yourself knowing the motto that the people were more important than the yachts.Thanks again to all the crew - out in Greece and behind the scenes in London for making it the perfect tonic from City life!!!
We just wanted to write you a short note to say what a great time we'd had on the South/North Ionian Flotilla this August with Drew, Tracy and Jimmy. We got some great sailing in and really enjoyed exploring the islands including many places we hadn't been. We thought the lead crew did a really great job organising us all and in particular finding us spots each night and arranging the beach parties. We thought they couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We're now looking hard at the brochure again with next year in mind.

Just a small note to say that we had a wonderful time aboard Annabelle. The weather was very nice and the wind blew enough for us to get the sails out. This is the third time that I have sailed with your company and I hope to see you next year, the two lads that I introduced to sailing this year loved it and will I am sure be back.
I have just retruned from 2 glorious weeks sailing with your Ky-ra crew, Ewen, Dene and Jimmie. The crew were absolutely fantastic. The afternoon sailing was great, the mornings glorious and the cocktails rocked! Huge thanks to everyone for making it a very memorable holiday and a chill out that was really needed.
Just a note to say what another great holiday with Sailing Holidays, the crew were great and very professional they looked after us very well, Crazy A, Liz and Paul. This was our 4th time sailing with you and it just gets better. We have already booked again for this October 07. We will be looking at booking for next year very soon. See you at the boat show.

We had a wonderful holiday and want to let you know what a delightful and helpful crew looked after us - Sophia, Hollie and Jono of Loutraki are stars - just lovely people - kind, sweet natured, attentive and generally - good report!!
It was a fantastic experience and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Met some great people on our particular flotilla and made many friends. We were extremely impressed with the Jag 27 C and albeit a little small, it was equiped with everything that we needed - and more besides.
Just a quick note to thank you for a absolutely fantastic holiday best ever, hope next year is as good already booked it. Once again thanks for a super relaxing holiday.
Thank you all so, so much for a fabulous 2 weeks on the Ionian flotilla. Drew, Tracey and Jimmy you were absolutely FANTASTIC - I cannot thank you enough for the all the help, advice, support and above all laughs that we have had over the last 2 weeks.
It was our first time sailing - and thanks to the three of you, I'd like to say - certainly not our last!

We returned from our two week Whole Ionian sailing holiday on the 15th July 2007. We would just like to express our thanks to Drew, Traci and Jay, who were outstanding as a lead crew, both very sociable and competent. The lead crew made our sailing days a complete joy and helped us no end, especially with mooring. The route they chose for us to sail was both diverse and beautiful each and everyday. In addition to this, we spent many late nights with the lead crew and felt truly welcomed by them. Although only in their mid 20s they had wisdom beyond their years. Great Holiday one of the best, Thanks again.

Just returned from a fantastic two weeks on the Whole Ionian in a Beneteau 36. This was a first time sailing for the 4 of us and it could not have been better. I was impressed with the helpfulness of the office staff in booking and handling any queries we had. The boat was great, although we already have our eyes on one of the bigger ones for the next time. We just had to write to tell you how fantastic our lead crew were, Drew, Jay and Anna could not be faulted. We also found we had great companions on the other boats and everyone was willing to give us a few words of advice or a helping hand. We are truly hooked now, and are looking forward to another holiday with you in the future.

It has now been a few weeks since we stepped off our Jaguar 27, and we would like to thank you all for the most enjoyable holiday we have ever had. It was completely hitch-free - from the flight over to the boat and the sailing. We feel it is a far better way of taking prozac!!!
We just wanted to say a very big thank you for the most fantastic holiday we have ever had. The boat was a delight and we cannot praise our lead crew - Drew, Jay and Anna - highly enough. You clearly have friends in high places as you arranged for the weather to be perfect. Thanks again for the experience of a lifetime. We hope to holiday with you again soon.
I wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time. We did not have any sailing experience apart from completing a 2 day RYA course 2 weeks before our holiday. This was a fantastic opportunity for me and Paul, something we have always wanted to do and a great way to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. We have both got sailing 'bug' and cannot stop reflecting on the many exciting times we had. I am sure we will be sailing with you again in the near future.
We have just returned from another wonderful sailing holiday. Thanks especially to the helpful lead crew; Jono, Nigel and Karly. Taking the Southern Jag fleet north we called in at Preveza ( a first time for us) and
were mightily impressed with the beauty of the inner gulf. We hope to return
and spend more time there another year. We look forward to receiving next year’s brochure.
I would just like to say what another great holiday with Sailing Holidays the crew were great they looked after us very well, Nancy, Euka and Vicky. We have been sailing with you for the last 3 years and it just gets better, (we are so hooked) we will be looking at booking for next year very soon.
We have just returned from the best holiday ever. We would like to thank you for the first class service Sailing Holidays offer, your staff have been very helpful and very efficient from the first day we contacted you, right up to the Crew on the 'Whole Ionain Flotilla 27th Aug to 10 Sept' when we were so well looked after by three great people - Rachel, Ange and Dan.
We look forward to booking for 2007!
Just a note to say what a fabulous holiday we had with our friends the Fullers, sailing from the north to south Ionian in July. Our Beneteau 361 was a lovely boat to learn to sail in, and now we all have much more confidence than we had on day one and even understand the word reef!
We found our lead crew Nancy, Vicki and Euka such fun but professional along with it and always there to help anyone, even on their day off. We met lots of likeminded people and really enjoyed all the entertainment organised. The cake that appeared for my husband on the table with a hearty chorus of happy birthday in Castellos was yummy and I seem to remember everyone in the restaurant getting a taste!
Judy and Graham Hay-Davison recommended you and we are now doing the same and telling all our friends, so hopefully the Gadds, Spendloves, Hursts, Dorbers and the Fullers should be booking up with you soon.
It must have taken years to get everything so right and we really appreciate that. Thank you again.
Just a line to tell you what a wonderful holiday we have just returned from. The boat was absolutely perfect and no superlatives in the dictionary can describe the overall professionalism of the lead crew. Their kindness and consideration, particularly with inexperienced sailors, their patience and calmness under trying circumstances was really amazing. The briefings from Rachel, the helpful information from Ange and the cheerful expertise of Dan the engineer all contributed to a very worry free holiday. We were very sorry when the holiday ended. We would without any hesitation recommend Sailing Holidays to our friends.
Just got back from Flotilla Christine from Corfu to Lefkas and wanted to thank you guys for a great week. From the office staff to the lead crew, Engineer Dan, the delightful Ange and Rachel, our skipper, you all did a great job and made our holiday fantastic. Can't wait to do it again as I didn't manage to eat all the prawns on Paxos this time! Thanks again, it was great.
Just returned from yet another fabulous week with your company on the North - South 1 week trip to Sivota. I will probably not be the first and definitely not the last to tell you what a great team you have in Ewen, Helen and Nico who looked after our every need during the week. This is my fourth trip with you and it gets better all the time. See you next year

Hi,
Just a line to let you know that we had a great trip and everything was very good.
Also we would like you to pass on our thanks to the lead crew and in particular to Rachel who did a fantastic job as skipper.
It was our first time with Sailing Holidays and we were most impressed with the whole organisation. In particular the boat was very well prepared and probably the most user friendly layout we have come across on a flotilla holiday.
We hope to be sailing with you again.
Dear Barrie,
Having never tried flotilla before, as I was a little sceptical having bare boated only, I must say that your particular brand of flotilla was fantastic. I am determined to do another with you before the end of the season. Sooner rather than later.
I did not have to worry about the weather forecasts and your choice of harbours made even mooring an interesting exercise and /or spectators sport.
The lead crew, Maz, Jock and Frenchy, were great fun but did not impose themselves on the rest of us too much.
Yours very grateful
